Safari Suffixes

Worksheet Description

Students complete a safari story by changing silent e base words into the correct new forms. The passages describe arriving at camp, traveling across grasslands, crossing a river, and helping with a wildlife rescue. Students add endings such as -ing, -ed, -er, and -est after removing the final e. Each blank depends on both the spelling rule and the meaning of the surrounding sentence.

This worksheet helps students practice the rule inside connected reading rather than isolated word lists. They must follow the story and decide whether the sentence needs an action, past-tense verb, comparison, or superlative. The repeated use of the pattern in one adventure makes it easier to remember. This strengthens spelling, grammar, comprehension, and confident word choice.
